Me 2023: what's your favorite pikichu, son? The fire lizard one?
Leonardo!
My son loves Leonardo, they were sold out at the store so I got him a Donatello instead, I'm sure he'll love it, he likes all that pokemans stuff.
Hey bud, How's the pokeyman hunt going?
"It's Minecraft, not mind-"
"That son of a bitch…"
That was my exact thought process.
"Wait, why is he spelling it wrong. It's M- oh, he's doing it on purpose. You dirty fucker."

Mindcraft
You've become the very thing you swore to destroy!
Probably did it on purpose for the kids reading his comment.
A coworker recently showed a picture of Minecraft in a meeting and confidently said it was Roblox. I wanted correct him but I didn't want to be that guy.
Depends if you're vying for their job.
"Come on Johnson, how are we supposed to trust your numbers if you don't even know what you're presenting"
Proceeds to take over the presentation.
I read that in Cave Johnson’s voice, and him berating someone else with the last name Johnson is even more fitting
I can even imagine talking to himself like that in the middle of a presentation, proceeding to take over it from himself.
My brother insists on calling Roblox "Robots" to his kids. This appropriately infuriates them. I'm workshopping Fork-knife to bug my step kids.
Fork-knife sounds like too much out of the gates, ya gotta pick one
Start small with Forknight or Fortknife, workshop some more if that doesn't get the desired reaction
Actually if there was a game called “Mindcraft” that would be as on flames as an af, no hat.
that felt like 3 sequential punches in the gut
I teach middle school so I know all the latest slang. Can't help myself though because I love to mess with them.
I always ask them about pokey man cards and fort knife. Little do they know I had Pokemon cards before they were born and I have season 1 Fortnite skins that I got before they were old enough to play video games.
I'll say, "oh you're a gamer? Do you play that fort knife game? Wait it's what? Fork Night? Is it like a Mario kind of thing? What do you do in it?"
Then after they explain I'll say, "Wow, a lot has changed since I got that OG skull trooper skin. I stopped playing because everyone was straight dog water and I got bored."
They fucking love it every time.

Mindcraft mine games.
The children long for the minds
Hmmm, the comic looks a bit surreal now that Twitch is a thing.
"How do you do fellow kids? Yes indeed the day does for-real be cap. Hope you have a mid one!" (I did the photo edit myself btw, OC)
Playing dumb and intentionally calling things by the wrong name will never stop being funny. Annoying, but funny.
Lemonworld sure have the best microblag memes.
You kids on the snapgram?
Or FaceSpace
"Looking at your friends Google? Your grandmother is on there you know."
I'm so old, I don't even know what to misname.
Calling TikTok "Facebook" or "Facey whatsit" goes well. Especially seeming as Facebook's seen as an old person's platform, even to the middle-age that were there for its heydays during their teens and 20s. Yet it's still relevant enough that young kids know what it is.
Double down on it.
"Have you seen this TikTok?"
"I don't have Facebook."
“Have you seen this tiktok?” “I don’t have Facebook”
is so funny I’m gonna use it on my TikTok generation peers. Thanks, grandpa!
My mother called Bed, Bath and Beyond (back when it was an actual store) "Bed and Bath." But she's just like that. She also calls Menards "Maynards." Not because of a Southern accent or something, she grew up in New York City. She's just weird.
We called it "Blood Bath From Beyond".
The Internet should be a repository for so much knowledge that getting something incorrect should take a monumental effort.
But... *gestures vaguely*
Quite the opposite. There is lots of information, but lots of it is incorrect.
Actually, there was a study done, and the conclusion was that all the information on the internet was wrong.
This is why internet reviewers who constantly get shit wrong baffle me.
"Bro how are you this bad at research?"
Comments drive engagement.
When My Little Pony friendship is Magic was in the middle of becoming this huge surprise hit. I messed with my cousin, with whom there is a very significant generational Gap, by pretending that I unironically believed Fluttershy was a tree.
It never got old
